I want to try duck hunting, but I don't have anyone to "show me the ropes." Can anyone recommend any good books on duck hunting with basic techniques and general info for a beginner?

Successful Duck hunting by M.D. Johnson is a great book. Also try looking at amazon.com, and type in duck hunting they have a lot of good books on there

try "DUCK HUNTING" "COMPLETE HUNTER SERIES" and is available at most hunting stores, i would also suggest any doug larsen book for some reading that wont tell you how but will motivate you to get into the blind! good luck

The DU website is a good resource along with their magazine...I would recommend joining...

I read a couple a DU books..."Dont Shoot the Decoys" and "The Duck Gods must be Crazy" GOOD BOOKS
